Fantasy Book Group at Fritz – Brooklyn, NY

Fantasy Book Group with Ashli
Discusses The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday by Saad Z. Hossain

Led by Greenlight Events Coordinator Ashli, the Fantasy Book Group meets monthly to explore the realm of fantasy storytelling, from cozy to romantasy, high to urban or contemporary, YA to anthologies, and more! Whether you’re a lifelong fantasy lover or a burgeoning fan, we welcome you here.

In May, the group discusses Saad Z. Hossain’s The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday, a Locus-award finalist for Best Novella following an awakened djinn king, surprised to see the now AI-ruled cut price paradise of Kathmandu, and an exiled, old Gurkha soldier pursuing a forty-year-old vendetta. In this, “Hossain continues to blow through the flimsy walls of genre like a whirlwind… sweeping science-fiction, fantasy, myth, and satire into the wildly imaginative vortex of his ever-expanding fictional universe of alternate djinn-history and futures,” Indra Das (The Devourers).
